The THREAT of war is always a better negotiating tool than the war itself. The cold war ended without catastrophe because of the TREMENDOUSLY negative possibilities of an all-out nuclear holocaust. The rationale for war is very different now. Bin Laden made the point recently that you can, on the black market buy for as little as $10 million one of some 70 nuclear warheads stolen from Russia. THIS MAY BE TRUE. So it may be a bad policy to go to war with terrorists for the reason that they may, indeed, have the tools to wreak massive destruction. Just another reason, in my view, for working your ass off to eliminate the causes of terrorism via cooperation and tolerance (not with terrorists), but with the legitimate regimes of the various countries involved. Namaste! Jim
